Wow. All those servers out in the real world running Linux suggest
otherwise. And the fact that Dell has started shipping Linux on its
boxes suggests something other than failure. And let's not forget the
OLPC initiative. And, of course, all those countries out there that
are officially pushing Open Source Software (read: Linux) because they
hate Microsoft so much.

Of course, companies like Red Hat and Novel are laughing all the way
to the bank over their failures.

Gosh, I wish I had a product that was failing in every way as Linux is
failing.

the only remaining little hope is with ReactOS.

Which has zero market penetration. And will probably never have a
perceptible penetration in the market. As you, yourself, have pointed
out, Windows is FREE. It comes on just about every machine you buy
today (well, at least 90% of them, anyway). Even if ReactOS were 100%
finished and absolutely reliable, why would any average user ever want
to screw around with it? Their machine comes with the *real thing*,
not a clone. Windows is already installed; it already works; and there
are no patent issues to be resolved (and if Microsoft thinks that
Linux violates MS' patents, imagine what it's going to think about
ReactOS).

You live in a dream world, Rene.



Now, if some Asmer may have fun at developping an Assembly OS,
instead of doing anything serious, this is a nother story, but
one thing is 100% sure, is that they will never get any user,
whatever quality they could achieve, aven admitting - i don't -
that this quality would be better than Windows. Even if it was
free, even if it was way better at all points of view, nobody
would ever use it. Well,... GeoWorks was not free, but...

ReactOS is free, but...
